Does your Ford Mustang have Nitrogen-filled tires rolling rapidly on the road, track, or strip?  Likely not, but if your Mustang (or another automobile) has the “bigger” gas in its tires, you’re well aware of the advantages Nitrogen has over the atmospheric alternative.  Long-term pressurization, less oxidation & tread wear, reduced risk of blowout from overheating are just a few of the benefits of utilizing Nitrogen for tire inflation.  The team over at American Muscle recently jumped onto the idea of providing Nitrogen-filled tires for Mustang fans shopping for wheels and tires and so far, the concept has been well received.  There’s a reason why fleet vehicles, off-road motorsports, NASCAR, Formula 1, and many others have utilized Nitrogen for years: it’s a sensible update that saves money spent on replacing tires while increasing overall performance.  Take a peek at the Press Release for more information on this offering from American Muscle.

The folks at AmericanMuscle have teamed up with a (local) Philadelphia radio station to give away a brand new 2009 Ford Mustang to a lucky winner. There’s a catch, however. The “Live in it to Win It” promotional contest will challenge selected contestants to be the “Survivor” and last longer than the competition. Sounds simple, right? Four people are going to spend every moment with three others in the Mustang until but one remains. We aren’t too sure about this one, but we know this: the love of the Ford Mustang is a powerful thing and people will go to great lengths to be the owner of one. Good luck, guys and gals–you’re going to need it!
